Hi there,
Recently I have digging more into Dlive, last year when I attempted to I stumbled upon alot of hatred things including full on right wing nuts. Most of them left the platform when majority of them that streamed the capitol storming was banned from the platform. It was scary stuff at the time, but with recent news especially banning people who live streamed the raid on capitol hill they lost a big eye. Some nuts still stream there but it’s nothing like it was. Big names that streamed there and disappeared all seemed to switched to this platform to push the big dogs to give them more money. Because in the end these content creators is all about the money and self image.
DLive joined later in the game, it’s a real underdog as it contains no advertisements, it is built around being decenralizing and crypto. Then sold to the company of free software Rainberry also known as “BitTorrent”
But compairing Dlive to Twitch, twitch has alot going on with partnerships and alot of “broken” api, widgets, and other addon. It took them 8 months and who knows how much longer to patch a very bad security hole. There is alot of bad things happening on twitch but it’s always been that way for the longest time and it feels like they are not fully doing anything to cover it. Because of that I went to Dlive and started to read up on some stories on the platform and I’ve once said this platform has alot of potential and it really does.
From the start, you can BTT stake in to make money with out the need of affiliate you just have to understand crypto. Dlive is heavy on the decentralizing platform and on the crypto. They use Lemons instead of bits for it’s gifting that is something that can be conveted later on when you climb the affiliate to even partner level.
Poking away at dlive and it already feels a much more secure platform, it has less and their api isn’t fully developer ready to build 3rd party tools with there is tidylabs but it’s an extra tool that works closely with dlive and it isn’t easily exploitable or that I have yet to find so far.
You can’t see who is sitting in your viewer list but that is a good thing, as long as they have you as a view, (mute the tab but not the stream) it counts as an consistant view. (If you have a proxy list or multiple TOR instances with different IP’s they also count as a view) Moderation tools are easier to manage. There is no follower only chat mode but there is a slow mode that is encouraged to be used banning them removes them fully and email verification to chat in that channel can be a requirement. Creating an account doesn’t enforce an 2fa but it does do a few checking.
DLive has alot more going for it as it’s feels more of a safer platform all together I am already networking with others even with one of the community team leaders welcomed me in and so on. It’s like a huge giant big family style streaming service, if I can bridge a safer community using this platform I think dlive might have a winning chance again Twitch’s powerhouse. Especially now with all the hate and massive problems twitch is currently having.
To be honest, if I hit partner first with DLive, I am done with twitch as my main platform. I am liking the rebound I am getting with the DLive community already as they need all the positivity they can get right now to shake the bad image they have had over a year ago.
